[Federal Register: March 18, 1998 (Volume 63, Number 52)] [Notices] [Page 13292] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT Proposed Collection; Comment Request Extension of Standard Form 113-G AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management. ACTION: Notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13, May 22,1995), this notice announces that OPM intends to submit a request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for renewal of authority to collect data for the Monthly Report of Full- time Equivalent/Work-Year Civilian Employment (Standard Form 113-G). The data collected are used by OMB and OPM to: (1) monitor agencies' progress in increasing part-time employment; (2) aid OMB and the President in making decisions on agencies' budget appropriations for the next fiscal year; and (3) monitor agency work year usage under total approved FTE levels during the current fiscal year. One hundred thirty-one Federal agencies provide monthly reports to OPM. It takes 2 hours to complete one report, for an annual total information collection burden of 3,144 hours. Comments are particularly invited on: --Whether this collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of functions of the Office of Personnel Management, and whether it will have practical utility; --Whether our estimate of the public burden of this collection of information is accurate, and based on valid assumptions and methodology; and --Ways in which we can minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, through the use of appropriate technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology. For copies of the clearance package, call James M. Farron, Reports and Forms Manager, on (202) 418-3208, or by e-mail to jmfarron@opm.gov. DATES: Comments on this proposal should be received on or before May 18, 1998.
